Miley Cyrus has finally released her eighth studio album, Endless Summer Vacation, in full and dropped the music video for its next single, River.
Very much a change up in sonic style and tone from Flowers (which is, uh, still Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart, in case you haven't noticed) River is a wonky, 80s synth-pop inspired tune that is about...let's say...the prefential end of a sexual encounter.
Metaphors, aren't they a wonderful thing. With the release of its fashion spread-esque music video - shot mostly in monochrome and included bright flashes of light and lots of beautiful, topless men - River is now being specifically positioned as the heir to Flowers' crown, the favoured son of ESV now tasked with the difficult quest of living up to the defining pop song of the year so far.
But the question is, can Miley make lightning strike twice? The success of Flowers is the kind of pop justice that only happens once in a career if you're lucky; the song has managed to climb to Number 1 across with absolutely no promotion on Miley's part, succeeding based on its viral value and how well it engineered a media cycle around perceived meanings of the song and its video to Miley's personal life.
